SEWER/SANITATION DISTRICTS IN COUNTY GOVERNMENT

EACH DISTRICT IS AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY WITH ITS OWN SEPARATE BUDGET

  • Each District’s Governing Board is the Board of

Supervisors

  • The District receives Sewer Service Charges and limited

property taxes within the District boundaries to fund sewer service

  • The Sewer Service Charges are a Fee For Service, Not

a Tax

  • The District collects Sewer Service Charges on the Tax

Bill because it is least costly way to collect the fee
